2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YP71 KFE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across the last three inspections. The most recent test conducted on 17 March 2026 at 36,622 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean sheet mirrors the results from October 2025 and 2024, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met regulatory requirements without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between October 2024 at 29,460 miles and October 2025 at 35,243 miles, the car covered 5,783 miles, while another 1,379 miles were recorded in the five-month period leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which often benefits hybrid components and braking systems by preventing the seizing or degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT history shows no recorded faults regarding suspension bushes, structural corrosion, or brake components, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of consumable wear items. A buyer should check for uneven tyre wear which might indicate alignment issues and inspect the state of the brake discs for excessive pitting. Given the PHEV nature of the Kuga, confirming the health of the hybrid battery and checking for any charging port damage remains essential, as the MOT does not test high-voltage systems.
